If you have been diagnosed with Osteopenia or Osteoporosis. You may have been surprised. None of us expect our bones to get thin. None of us want porous bones. The good news is that you can do something about it. In fact there are many Osteopenia Treatments that work.

You may want to know how I go so interested in this subject. After all, I am not a physician and I am not a professional web designer.

When I was told I had lost bone density and had Osteopenia, I was surprised. Shocked! After all I had eaten lots of dairy products all my life.

My health care provider recommended a prescription drug and I took it. My next dexa scan showed slight improvement. Two years later my dexa scan showed more bone loss. My hips now showed Osteoporosis (porous bone) and my spine showed Osteopenia. I was concerned. I had already broken a wrist and my ankle. I did not want to break a hip or lose my independence. So, I did what was natural for me. I began researching.

I read every book I could find. Since I worked at a college, I had access to research reports and journals. I studied these. I learned that there was a time when people thought that Osteopenia and Osteoporosis were just a normal part of aging. But things have changed. Now there are scientific studies about Osteopenia treatments. We know that even the very old can regain bone with the right Osteoporosis or Osteopenia treatments.

Slowly I began to apply what I was learning. Naturally, I shared my goals with my health care providers and sought their advice. And I often used more than one treatment option at a time. With each dexa scan I checked my progress. When it appeared I was doing some backsliding, I analyzed what changes I had made since my last bone density test and reversed those things. I also made additional life style changes as I read more research.

I had success! (That is why I believe you can have success too.)

When my dexa scans improved, I shared my good news with friends. Many of them had Osteoporosis or Osteopenia and they asked questions. Then friends of friends began to ask questions. That's when I decided to put together this web page about Osteopenia Treatments. I want you to have access to all the things I've learned over the last few years.

My hope is that this site will give you ideas for your conversations with your health care providers. This web site contains more information than most books on the subject - AND I add new material several times a year.

So....

The good news is: Osteopenia Treatments can work. You can reverse bone loss.
